CHARLES A FAESSLER, OF BUFFALO, NEVVYORK.

CENTRIFUGAL GOVERNOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,273, dated August 23, 1904.

i Application filed June 20,1903. Serial No. 162,386. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. FAESSLER, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Centrifugal Governors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention, 1

such as will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertains to make and use the same,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to figures of reference marked tion.

My invention relates to improvements in steam-governors, and more particularly to that class of governor which is, applied to the flywheel of an engine and is operated byits varying centrifugal force.

The objects of my invention are, first, sim

plicityof parts in connection with their number, arrangement, and operation, and, second,

130 provided for a reversal of motion of the 'tion; and Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the position of the springs and weight changed to provide for negative rotation.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is the fly-wheel upon the shaft 2 of the engine to be controlled.

3 is the eccentric, pivoted to the fly-wheel at 4.

The curved lever consists of the arms 5 and 6, pivoted at 7 to a spoke of the fly-wheel.

8 is the connecting-link, pi'voted at 9 to the arm 5 of the curved lever and at 10 to theeccentric 3.

11 is a spiral'spring adjustably engaging with a screw-threaded rod 12, adapted for pivotal attachment to the outer ends of the arms "eccentric 3.

5 and 6 of the curved lever, its other end being adapted for removable attachment to the 14:, adapted forpivotal attachment to the twin lugs 15 and 16 upon the fly-wheel spoke to which the curved lever 5 6 is pivoted, its

the curved lever,its other end being removably attached to the eccentric 3. The screwthreaded rod 14E of the spring 13 is pivoted to the left twin lug 15, its other end being removably attached to the outer end of the arm 6 of the curved lever. 1

To change myimproved governor for negative rotation, as shown inFig. 2, the positions of the curved lever 5 6 remain unchanged,

the weight and springs only requiring changed positions, as follows: The weight 18 is-shifted to the arm 5 of the curved lever. The spring 11 is interposed between the outer end of the arm 6 of the curved lever and the eccentric 3,

and the spring 13 is interposed between the outer end of the arm 5 of the curved lever and the right twin lug 16. With these simple changes the governorvis ready for operation with the negative rotation of the fly-wheel. I claim* vA centrifugal governor, consisting of the following instrumentalities, viz.; a curved lever permanently pivoted at or .near its cen- I 'ter, to a spoke of the fly-wheel, twin lugs upon the spoke to which the curved lever is pivoted and located between the pivot and the eccentric, a connecting-link pivoted to-the curved 13 is another spiral spring adjustably engaging with a screw-threaded rod lever and the eccentric, a spring adapted for I removable attachment to the eccentric and to either extremity of the curved-lever, a spring adapted for removable attachment to either of the twin lugs upon the fly-Wheel and t0 to this specification in the presence of two Suhelther extremity of the curved lever, and an scribing \vltnesses.

adjustable Weight adapted for removable atx i i tachment to either arm of the curved lever, Q'HARLhb 5 all combined and operating as and for the pur- \Vitnesses:

pose stated. 0. B. BUTLER,

In testimony whereof I have signed my name W. T. MILLER.
